Why is the name Sarah Silverman familiar? Didn’t she have a TV show that bombed or something? I watch so little TV I wouldn’t know for sure.

*eats*

I saw her show a few times, it was funny as hell. She pretty much makes fun of everything and everybody.

Unfortunately for her, it really works against her when she campaigns like this.

Her humor, if you guys haven’t figured it out, is to be the cute, ditzy, thinks-she-knows-it-all, child-lost-among-adults type. She’s the five year old, living in the realm of grownups, who speaks her mind without the assistance of a filter. Whatever she thinks, she says; whatever she wants to do, she does. No discipline, no conscience, no superego to burden her.

In other words, she’s the idiot we all laugh at, and sometimes finds truth when there was no truth really to be found. In many respects, she’s like the female version of Jackass.

Moving from her fictional persona into this one, I found it funny, but overall working against her efforts. Do you really want a five year old telling you how to vote? Do you really want someone whose main enjoyment in life is pointing a stick with poop on the end of it at passing strangers to support your candidate?

Yeah, me neither.

McCain’s best answer is to simply tell young undecided voters, “Sarah Silverman thinks it would be a really good idea to vote for Obama. And she wants you all to have doody-sticks.” That’s it. He’d have their vote.

I know I should hold off on commenting until I hear Jackie’s response–but still, I don’t think a response needs to be made. If the “serious” Sarah Silverman appeared on YouTube or TV or wherever, and said, flatly, “No, I’m really a McCain supporter”, honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked in the least.

I hope lots of people watch both, as Jackie’s is certainly more persuasive.

BTW, what was that subliminal thing flying across the bottom of Jackie’s? I can’t seem to freeze it at the right time to get a clean look at it.

In a few topics here before, the commenter’s on the right always made the point that they have a better sense of humor then the left does. That meme has been deep-six’ed in this thread.

Even though I didn’t agree with Mason I still found his video very funny. Funnier then Silverman’s.

So Silverman wants kids to use emotion, lies, and threats in order to get their grandparents to vote for someone they don’t want to vote for. Progressive.

Remember when she was funny? Neither do I.

lol, well put
As for Jackie, haven’t seen em in awhile since a treadmill rant sometime back. Good to see em out there still embracing the “internets”. Older (smarter) people need to get in there more. The level of stupidity on the internet is sometimes staggering today…

This woman is foul. A true comedian uses words to describe humorous scenarios and doesn’t rely on cursing and foulness to get laughs.

Agreed. Someone told her once when she was very young that she was funny. She was doing something off the wall and silly at the time. She was 6. She has never outgrown that period.

Not only has Silverman NEVER been funny, she can only do rude and scatological jokes to even appear slightly humorous. So kudos to Mr. Mason for blasting that harpie.

+ 1 !

Every time I’ve seen her I’ve been grossed out. She’s not funny, Mason’s correct, she just sick. And now, like many comedians, she’s injected “humor” into her politics, and she’s borderline unintelligible.

I only mde it halfway through her video…

I bet you made it further than I did… Jackie’s I watched. Amusing but neither was funny. Sort of soft comedy I guess.

The whole thing was just weird and it says a lot about the idiot liberals supporting Obama.

By the way, Jackie is awesome! I loved him on Penn and Teller’s gun control episode, and when he spoke out in defense of Mitt during the primaries.

I stand corrected. Gods forbid that Aello and Ocypete be set upon me… of course, then they would be , in fact, harpies.

“Her whole shtick is about saying really offensive things! But it’s ok because she’s pretty and has a small voice so it all sounds so cute! Get it? It’s not offensive, because when she says racist or sexist things she knows they are offensive. So it’s ok.”

Make sure your Nana in Florida reads the whole thing or she’s a raaaaaacist.
